Challenges:

Heart Journaling#1 spread your wings

This is my first attempt on journaling. Read this link here about the journaling project. I stamped the 2 pages with dragonfly, leaf, flower stamp using yellow, red and pink colour. The first week require us to incorporate something with wings and it made me think of dragonfly. This journal is about ME. The first two pages reflected my childhood. Clean. Simple. Love (symbolised by the hearts at the the four corners of the journal), Nature. Flowers. Dragonfly (yes..I remember chasing and capturing dragonfly, especially the red colour..). Life is so Uncomplicated. Life is Beautiful.

LO - Sweet

My son having his first taste of ice-cream in a cone. He didn't know that the waffle cone can be eaten, thus he dig deep in for some melted chocolate ice-cream inside it.
